(Levi's POV)
Okay, I know I'm high, but this shit coming out of the t.v. screen is weird. Like, a couple of minutes after Drea leaves to go help with popcorn, this sort of, like, digital, rainbow-colored, like vortex starts to come out of the screen. Nessa was already freaking our, but she was just frozen in shock, too scared to move.
I don't even start freaking out until the thing starts vaccuming us towards it.
With a scream, I latch onto the couch with my hands, and try to fight the force of the invisible hands pulling on me. Mind you, I'm high off of Marijuana, not effing acid. So, I'm not hallucinating. This is happening, this is real.
Then, with the loudest, highest pitched screech ever, Nessa loses her grip on the couch, and flies right towards the portal...
...right as Drea is coming into the room with Lexi.
Both stare in shock as she disappears throught the vortex. Without a second thought, Drea hops over the couch and dives at the portal after her. Lexi tries to grab her, but she moves too fast for her hands.
"God damn it!" I say as my left hand slips, Lexi tries to reach me, but just ends up getting pulled into the portal as well, bypassing me completely. I manage to grab her hand, and get dragged in with her.
The last sight I see before landing is a picture hanging on the wall behind the sofa. A picture of the four of us the first year we met. Then, there's only the bright rainbow light, and the jarring impact of my body onto wet concrete.
(Lexi's POV)
Ugh, my head...what the hell just happened?
All I remember is making popcorn for Drea, Levi, Nessa and I, and then hearing Levi and Nessa screaming. Then all of us flew through a portal coming out of my freaking t.v...I don't even remember what show we were watching, or was it a movie? I can't recall. I groan and open my eyes, then groan even more as the dank light from...where-ever-the-hell-this-is leaks into my eyes. Oh, hell, my head hurts.
I manage to sit up and look around, trying to locate my sisters. I can see Drea slumped against the wall to my right, though, it's all kind of one wall, because it's a circular room. Ness is sprawled over part of a raised circle in the center of the room. And Levi is flat on her back, spread-eagled, next to me. I sigh when the head count is complete, glad to have found them all.
Now...where the hell are we?
Well, it's pretty cold and we're surrounded by damp stone and it smells like mold and grime. The sewers maybe? We can't be...wherever we were living before. Damn, I can't even remember that! Jeepers crow! This is soooooooo not cake.
We must be further north from where we lived. A lot further north. Because it never got this cold whereever we lived before. Now, that I think even more about it, it feels almost arctic. It was winter where we were before, so it's the same time. Just a different place. Okay, that's narrowed down.
How the hell did we get here?
Obviously the portal had to do with it. We went through it ended up here, so...how did the portal take us here? Why did it take us here, and why was it here to begin with? I doubt it's still open or anything, at least from this side, because I can't see it anywhere or hear it. I drag myself over to Levi, who I manage to wake up by nudging her. She groans and opens her eyes. Levi sits up and looks around.
"HOLY CRAPBALLS, WHERE THE EFFING HELL ARE WE?!" She yells out loud. I cover her mouth and give her a look that tells her to shut up immediately. The two other unconcious girls stir and sit up, rubbing their eyes. Drea just looks like a confused child, and Ness looks like a scared animal. That sounds mean, but there's no other way to describe it. Both come scrambling over to us and start shaking because it's cold. Ness wraps the blanket she haf even tighter around her shoulders. Drea huddles into her sweatshirt, and pulls the collar up to her chin. Levi blows warm air into her hands, and rubs them together.
We're all quiet and pondering about the situation, well, except Drea, who's never quiet. That is, until they arrive.
Who are they? Well, they are four giant green monsters with shells and different colored masks. Before any of us know it, we're all cornered by one of them. The one that "cornered" me has on a purple mask with a very large pair of glasses on over it. It holds a very long and large stick to my chest while my back is against the wall. His brownish-green eyes stare at me from behind his lenses.
"Uh, Leo? What are we supposed to do with them?" The one pinning me asks. His voice sounds all dorky and makes me want to laugh at the combo of it plus his intimidating appearance. It would be an equivalent to taking the nerdiest, most weak looking guy at school, and giving him the terminator's voice. But, I manage to reign in my amusement.
"SENSAI! WE HAVE INTRUDERS, BUT THEY AREN'T FOOT CLAN!" The on with the blue mask, presumably 'Leo' yells in the direction of the only 'doorway' this room has. He has two swords criss-crossed under Levi's chin, with her back to him. I can see her scowling and tilting her head up to look at him.
After 'Leo' had shouted to his 'Sensai', a very large, but not as large as these green monsters, rat comes into the room. Okay, turtles? A rat? What the hell is going on here?!
"Hmmm...perhaps we should just simply ask what they are doing here, and then ask how they got int without us noticing." The rat, presumably this 'Sensai' that 'Leo' had called for, says while stroking what must be his approximation of a beard. "Release them, my sons, but do not let the escape."
(Nessa's POV)
I am legitimately anxious right now. How did we get here, why are we here?! All I know is we all went through a portal like Alice in Wonderland and ended up here. Did I mention that it's freezing?! Well, it is, to make matters worse.
All of a sudden a large...thing pins me to the floor and I'm looking into angry, golden green eyes. Around the eyesis a red bandana mask, and it wears a beat-up pair of sunglasses on its head. This giant monster is holding me down with its knee and its left hand. The hand holds my shoulder down while its other hand points this sharp, pointy knife-thingy in my face. Then, oh sweet hell, and effing rat enters this circle-room. I try as hard as I can not to struggle with this beast on top of me, because it seem sto be the impatient type. Then, the rat-guy-thing tells them to let us go, which they all do. The one pinning me gives me a suspicious glance before getting up, and crossing his arms. The one with the blue mask that had two big swords under Levi's chin swiftly puts them into the sheaths on its back. The one with the giant stick, and the glasses retracts the stick. And the one practically choking Drea pulls the rope of its nunchuk away from her neck. Drea falls forward onto her knees, rubbing her throat and gasping for air. I run to her and glare at the now apologetic looking monster. I start to walk towards the thing, regardless of any fear, and Levi pulls me back. I huff and cross my arms.
"I'm fine, Ness." Drea assures. I squint at her and then sigh and nod. I actually look at these things for the first time, and it seems that they are turtles. Lexi then runs over, not sparing a second glance to the, possibly dangerous and hostile, turtles behind her. I can see Levi doing a head count, and she that she sighs with relief when we're all accounted for. Well, I could have told her that.
Still, even if we are all here...
What in the name of the everliving underworld are we going to do?!
(Drea's POV)
Holy crapzilla! That turtle dude was holding that chain way too tight to my throat. I might have bruises now! Nessa comes up to me first, makes like she's gonna fight this monster sized turtle. Then, Levi comes to pull her back into her senses. And Lexi runs up to us, probably hating being separated. I reassure them that I'm fine, even though I'm still rubbing my, now sore, neck.
"Alrigh, my sons. Let's begin." The rat, apparently named 'Sensei', states with his hands behind his back. I cringe because I think rats are icky. Our house was infested one year, so, they kind of gross me out. And it really doesn't help that this one talks.
So, he goes up to each of us and asks the same questions.
"Why did you come into our home?"
"How did you get into our home without us realizzing it at first?"
All of us have basically the same answer.
I say. "All I know is that we were watching some show or movie on Lex's t.v. and then this random portal appears and we get sucked in and land here."
Levi says. "Number one, we didn't come here on purpose. We were watching a fucking movie, and this fucking portal show up and pulls us through to here." I cringe at the sass in her tone.
Lexi tries to amend that. "I think what Levi's trying to get at is that we have no clue, sir. All we can remember is gong throught the portal up to now. We remember our parents and stuff, but, for some reason, we can't remember where exactly we lived, what our school's name was, or even what goddamn show or movie we were watching. Sir, please believe us."
Nessa says. "W-well, y-yeah, what Lexi s-said. Th-there was a-a m-m-movie, a-and then p-p-portal, and th-then, here."
After all of the explanations, the rat guy, or 'Sensei', paces in front of us while asking the bo-staff weilding turtle with the techno-gear some scientific-y questions.
"W-well Sensei, I don't know why it appeared at their home, of all places, but my guess is that it's maybe Shredder or just Sacks on his own. The thing is, the technology required to make this 'portal' doesn't exist yet. Or, at least I haven't heard anything on it, yet." The dorky one says, while pushing up his glasses. "Hell, maybe it's a new person."
"Could it be Shredder and Sacks, and a new enemy, Don?" The blue one says, going up to him with his arms crossed.
"I-it might be possible, but who's the third one? It has to be someone experienced in technology. But, as I've said, I haven't heard of any real tech like this, yet. Maybe it's out there, and maybe they're lying. Who the hell knows? I don't think they're lying, though. None of their body language hinted at that." 'Don' replies, gesturing with his hands.
"Well, you're the brains here, man." The blue one admits.
"Maybe, dudes, it's aliens!" The turtle with the orange mask says in a dramatic voice. The red one rolls his eyes and grumbles. The blue one just shakes his head. "No, I'm serious. I mean, if we can exist, why can't aliens be a thing, too?"
I nod to myself, seems legit. I mean aliens could be a thing, whether or not they're advanced enough to do this...I'll have to ask Lexi.
"Either way, my sons. These girls, as innocent as they may seen cannot be allowed to just wander around New York with the dangerous information they now hold." The 'Sensei' guy says.
Levi walks towards toward him.
"Whaddya mean, 'dangerous'? And not allowed to wander?" She challenges. Oh, geez. "Are you kidnapping us?"
"You misunderstand me, child. You, in and of yourselves are most likely harmless, physically. But, you now know where we reside, you have information of our very existence." He explains, attempting to calm a furious Levi. "If we allowed you to run free with that information, people that wish to do us harm will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. We wouldn't want you ladies to get hurt because you know us. Yes, this is technically kidnapping, but you are safer here. Besides, it is winter and we're in New York." When Levi's scowl disappears, replaced by a concerned backwards glance at the three of us, he nods. "We do not want harm to come to any of you. But, you do understand that if you are seeking to deceive us, and you do mean to cause my family harm...well, you can predict what would happen." To emphasize the threat, the red one and the blue one loom over Levi's figure. "We, until you betray us, will trust you, but you must stay here with us, so you can be safe until we figure out this 'portal' of yours. Until then , my sons and I will look after you." He finishes, and Levi nods in reluctant agreement.
"I guess there's really not much else that can be done, huh?" She states. They all nod. "Okay, well, I am going to apologize for intruding upon your home, as unintentional as it may be." Levi says, giving nervous glances at the hulking figures of the turtles beside her.
"If you are telling the truth...then none of it is your fault, and you have nothing to be sorry for." 'Sensei' replies, and turns to his 'sons'. "Each of you shall take responsibility of one of these girls. I will now assign one to each of you."
I blink. I'm being assigned to a turtle?!
